Believe it or not, in my travels around the world I have heard not just a few espouse the view I posted.


>>I agree. I'm 100% for pulling American political influence, economic influence, American troops (of all types) and American dollars out of every single country in the world RIGHT NOW (there is that pesky clean up our mess issue in Iraq though)
>>
>>Then the only ones left to hate us would be the ones with the view of 'those greedy americans have it all and won't share when they know they have a responsibility to the poorer nations of the world.'

>I don't believe anybody would hate US because of this. I don't believe anybody would have problem if US decided to do exactly what you are saying; and then carry on minding their own business within US internal borders and enjoy being rich. Why would anybody have problem with that ??

>What could be the problem however, is if US tried and succeded 'sharing' debts and deficits.

>So why don't you repay your debts first, pay for your deficits like everybody else does, and then enjoy your wealth (balance of) all you want. Nobody can possibly blame you for that.
